  I really wish I knew a way to "artistically" translate my book into other languages for the foreign market!

  Terry:

  I have read novels that were translated from original languages into English, and that superbly so. Each language has its idiomatic peculiarities, which are not always so easily translatable; however, skilled translators are able to capture the feel of the original while staying close to the author's meaning.

  Getting it launched in English is just the beginning! Those "artists" will appear and do your work proud.

  The cover is eye-catching and -holding. Excellent!

  Quite a number of years ago I proofread some of your historical fiction re: CTR. Is any of that original text part of TMoM?

  PS: Reminds me of Clark Ashton Smith's chillingly macabre work.

  at my open screen door, in search of mama.. i come into the living room (from the kitchen), we exchange glances for a moment, and he beats a hasty retreat.

  i am not mama.

  .. meantime, finches gather 'round the four birdbaths in my garden and splash about and share the latest birdland gossip.. .

  Thanks, Magnum, for your cool tale.

  I never would have thought that a boar could not be boorish! Wonders never cease . . .

  Good night!

  Ah, different browser allows me to reply!

  Thanks, Hortensia, for posting this.

  No income per se from my original pieces, but a small income from editing. Either by the hour or by the page. What clients must go through to get their work "out there" has convinced me that publishing my own pieces has zero appeal for me. I'd sooner scribble a line of verse on a scrap of paper and nail it to a telephone pole or pin it to a public notice board (done that).

  I'm glad that you made a success of what you're good at! I'll continue being a jack-of-all-trades till I die. Whatever it takes . . .

  Best.

  Wonderful waking up to your bird and beastie "tails," Mrs. Bee, Xan, villagegirl, Phizzy and Nancy!

  Living in a city is hardly Walden Pond, but Nature is present there nonetheless.

  THANKS for sharing!

  imagine the conversation the creator might have had with st. francis on the subject of lawns:.

  god: hey st. francis, you know all about gardens and nature.

  what in the world is going on down there in the midwest?

  Well, LisaRose, your neighborhood sounds overrun by fowl. Cute about Kitty!

  We have a lake here and it's cool to see the geese swimming with their tiny goslings (no ryans) in tow. There were three couples -- goose and gander -- and each had 6 fluff balls madly paddling away in very close proximity.

  THANKS!

  Hi Skeeter!

  There are occasions when screaming like a girl is justified . . .

  I'll stand by that, especially if one is of the female persuasion.

  Snakes simply are not cuddly and fuzzy. I'm sure someone here, though, might disagree.

  Thanks!

  Thank you, Zed, for telling us about your peaceable kingdom.

  Somehow, it seems all we could possibly need and want to fill the soul is here -- today!

  Best to you and yours.

  Thank you, Vidiot, for telling us about your herd of deer.

  We have 'em aplenty here, along with turkeys, cougars and the occasional bear. None of these beasties concern themselves that our neighborhood is "developed."

  Take care.
